Rey Ruiz performed in the well known "Cabaret Tropicana" music group. During a Cabaret Tropicana tour in the Dominican Republic, Ruiz defected, leaving the group to join some friends in the United States. With the help of his aunt, Martina, he was able to reach Miami, FL. He owes his life in the US to his aunt and it is in Miami, where he found success. Once established there, Ruiz began to gain fame as a solo salsa singer.
It took Ruiz three years after he arrived in the United States for him to release his first CD. The self-titled "Rey Ruiz" was produced by Sony Records and it earned Ruiz celebrity in such places as Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Venezuela. The album also earned Ruiz a number of billboard and Premios Lo Nuestro awards, and it was a platinum album. Rey Ruiz was named the "salsa singer of the year" for 1993 by a prestigious salsa music magazine.
Ruiz's initial success as a singer translated into small screen success as well, as he was hired by Pepsi, Miller beer and his studio company, Sony, to film commercials announcing their brand. Ruiz's second album was a various artists' compillation dedicated to salsa singers from the 1960s and 1970s. The tribute album was named "Los Soneros de Hoy". loosely translated into "Today's (salsa) performers".
Also in 1993, Ruiz released his second album. "Mi Media Mitad" ("My Other Half") was a large hit in the United States and in Europe, once again, making the Billboard hits list in the States, and topping the European charts. "Mi Media Mitad" became Ruiz's second consecutive platinum album, and it helped make Ruiz popular in Colombia as well, with a single, "Si te Preguntan" ("If They Ask You") becoming a major hit song. Soon after that album's release, Ruiz made his debut at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Ruiz's third album, "En Cuerpo y Alma" ("Body and Soul"), was released in 1995. This was Ruiz's third platinum album in a row; his songs "Estamos Solos" ("We Are Alone") and "Vuelve de Nuevo Conmigo" ("Return Once Again With Me") were international hits, and many salsa experts consider this album to be Ruiz's most important release.
In 1996, with the collaboration of famed Colombian songwriter Omar Estefano and of Ricardo Quijano, Ruiz released his fourth consecutive platinum album, named "Destino" ("Destiny"). One of the most publicly acclaimed songs in that album was "Miénteme Otra Vez" ("Lie to me Again").
His next album, 1997's "Porque es Amor' ("Because it is Love") failed to have the commercial success Ruiz's four previous releases had, ending Ruiz's streak of platinum albums at four. It did, however, contain three major hit songs, including the title song, as well as "Mi Angel" ("My Angel") and "Tú no Sabes" ("You Don't Know").
In 1998, Ruiz released a greatest hits CD, named "Exitos del Rey" ("Rey's Hits", a name which can also be interpreted as "The King's hits", since Rey means king in Spanish). By then, Ruiz owned a recording company; his next album, "Ya Ves Quien Soy" ("Now You See Who I Am"), becoming one of the first CD's to be released by Ruiz's Luna Negra ("Black Moon") record label. Years earlier, Ruiz incorporated his production company in Puerto Rico, by the same name, Luna Negra productions, with the help of his ex-fiance (former Sony Music A&R rep) and then business manager.
"Ya Ves Quien Soy" was another commercial success for Ruiz, particularly in Brazil. Ruiz collaborated with Brazilian singer José Augusto in this album, when the pair recorded a duet song, "Siempre Mía" ("Always Mine").
In 2000, Ruiz joined the Bohemia Records label, releasing "Fenomenal" ("Phenomenal") under that label. In 2004, he released Mi Tentacion.

De moverse al caminar
Cuando se moja los labios
Hablando despacio, la quiero alcanzar
Como se acaricia el pelo
Su mirada tan sensual
Logra conquistar en mi
Es sangre, que corre por mis venas
Tambien es luna llena
Es mi obsecion y mi paz
Como la luz de una estrella
Su fuego me quema
Como una suave caricia
Que me en vicia, que me eleva
Como una ola me lleva
A donde quiera
Sin intentarlo me atrapa
Me seduce, me hace de ella
Entre sueños se me acerca
Hasta poderla tocar
Con un beso me despierta
Al menos soñando la puedo alcanzar
Su sonrisa me secuestra
Y no la quiero escapar
Su mirada es la pasion
Su voz la entrega total
Es sangre, que corre por mis venas
Tambien es luna llena
Es mi obsecion y mi paz
Como la luz de una estrella
Su fuego me quema
Como una suave caricia
Que me en vicia, que me eleva
Como una ola me lleva
A donde quiera
Sin intentarlo me atrapa
Me seduce, me hace de ella
Como la luz de una estrella
Su fuego me quema
Tiene una hermosa sonrisa
Y una tierna mirada que me ciega
Me sudan las manos
Se me agita el corazon
No se controlarme, cuando se me acerca
Es mi obsecion y mi paz
Y poderla alcanzar ese es mi gran dilema
Cuando se moja los labios con sensualidad
Me invade el deseo de quererla besar
Me paso todo el dia pensando el mismo tema
Como conquistarla de cualquier manera
[Como una ola me lleva]
Es que su belleza me enreda
Sueño algun dia tenerla
No se da cuenta siquiera
Me muero por estar con ella
